Abstract:
A 50-year-old male was initially thought to have familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) after innumerable small nodules in the upper GI tract were discovered upon endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for common bile duct stone extraction. ERCP was unsuccessful due to inability to find the major papilla amongst the nodules found in the duodenum. Biopsy of the nodules was consistent with nodular lymphoid hyperplasia. The patient was later found to have common variable immunodeficiency.
